CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains a functional description of the SKY497, describes the various hardware and software
configurations, outlines the main features of the system, and provides a system block diagram.
NOTES
1. This section provides installation information for the BFGoodrich Avionics Systems
SKY497 using the WX-1000/SKY497 Display.
2. The SKY497 does not track intruder aircraft approaching at a closure rate greater
than 900 knots.
3. The SKY497 can be interfaced to an alternate display device (i.e., MFD, weather
radar indicator), contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field Service Engineering at
1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600 for approved displays and software version
required for the TRC497.
4. The SKY497 can be interfaced to a weather radar indicator in place of the
WX-1000/SKY497 display, by using the BFGoodrich Avionics Systems RGC250
(Radar Graphics Computer). Refer to the RGC250 Installation Manual for details.
5. An alternate display device can be used in place of the WX-1000/SKY497 display as
the primary means of displaying traffic information. Refer to manufacturer
instructions for installation details.
6. When an alternate display device is installed the service menu can not be accessed,
therefore a terminal device (i.e., laptop) is required for post-installation checkout
(refer to appendix E).
1.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The BFG Avionics Systems SKY497 is an airborne traffic advisory system that advises the flight crew
where to look for aircraft that may pose a collision threat. It is intended for use by corporate and general
aviation aircraft. SKY497 alerts the flight crew to nearby transponder equipped aircraft and assists the
pilot in the visual acquisition of aircraft that may represent a danger.
Traffic information, out to a selected range of either 2 or 6 nautical miles, is graphically displayed on the
CRT. Using shapes (i.e., Traffic Advisory = solid circle; Other Traffic = open diamond) and text, the display
shows the relative position of threat aircraft.

1.3 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The SKY497 System consists of the following main components:
• Transmitter Receiver Computer
• Display
• Directional Antenna, NY164, or equivalent (e.g., NY156)
SKY497 is an active system that operates as an aircraft-to-aircraft interrogation device. The SKY497
equipment interrogates transponders in the surrounding airspace similar to ground based radars. When
replies to these active interrogations are received, the responding aircraft’s range, altitude, and closure
rates are computed to plot traffic location and predict collision threats. Figure 1-1 shows the SKY497
surveillance zone for intruding aircraft. A simplified block diagram of the main components and their
relationships is shown in figure 1-2.

The TRC is mounted in a mounting tray supplied with the installation kit (see table 1-2). The standard
tray (figure 1-3) will meet the requirements for fixed wing aircraft. A ruggedized version of the tray (figure
1-4) is required for rotorcraft installations.
To meet different space requirements, the I/O signal connector (P1) will accommodate either a straight or
right-angle backshell. TRC installation kits (see table 1-2) include either a straight backshell or right-angle
backshell (see figure 1-5).

1.3.2 Display
The SKY497 can be used with a WX-1000/SKY497 display, an alternate display device or both. When
interfaced to both displays (WX-1000/SKY497 display and alternate display), display functions are
independent from each other. When installing an alternate display device the service menu cannot be
accessed, even if a WX-1000/SKY497 display is installed, therefore a terminal device (i.e., laptop) is
required for post-installation checkout (see appendix E).
The SKY497 is designed to transmit traffic information to the alternate display device via our ARINC-429
bus interface. Refer to display manufacturer instructions for installation details.
WX-1000/SKY497 Display P/N 78-8060-5900-x. To operate with SKYWATCH, existing WX-1000 displays
must conform to TSO-C113. If the equipment tag on the back of the unit (see figure 1-7) does not identify
SKYWATCH and TSO-C113, return the display to the factory for modification. To schedule workload and
ensure a quick turn around, a return authorization will be required. Call BFG Avionics Systems Customer
Service (1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600) for details.

1.3.3 NY-164 Directional Antenna P/N 805-10890-001
The directional antenna is a teardrop-shaped antenna. Connections are made through two TNC and one
BNC connector. The antenna is sealed against environmental extremes and is non-repairable. To ensure a
tight seal between the airframe and antenna, an O-ring seal (i.e., an O-ring groove for an MS28775-044 Oring) has been incorporated into the design. An O-ring is supplied with each antenna. To fit specific
airframes, a special adapter plate is also required. The adapter plate is included in the installation kit
shipped with each system. Refer to table 1-4 for a list of installation kits associated with various airframes.
For aircraft not listed, contact the aircraft manufacturer for information relative to the radius of the area
where the antenna is to be mounted. Table 1-5 lists the contents of each installation kit. The installation
kits differ only in the size of the special airframe adapter plate. Figure 1-9 depicts the antenna dimensions.

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The information and instructions provided in this section are directed toward fixed-wing aircraft. The
complex nature of rotorcraft installations (e.g., antenna placement; composite versus metal blades,
available ground plane, rotor mast interference, strike kits, etc.) requires that each installation be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a rotorcraft installation, contact BFGoodrich Avionics
Systems Field Service Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.
NOTE
Installation instructions for the WX-1000 processor are detailed in the
WX-1000 Installation Manual.
Installation must be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government regulations.
This information furnished is for convenience only.

2.2 UNPACKING, INSPECTION AND STORAGE
CAUTION
The display and TRC are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and may
be damaged if not handled correctly. Do not remove protective covers from
electrical connectors during unpacking. Touching an exposed connector may
cause electrostatic damage to equipment.
Carefully unpack the system and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspect
each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packing
list. Immediately report any missing items or evidence of damage to the carrier making the delivery. To
justify a claim, retain the original shipping container and all packing materials.
Every effort should be made to retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original
containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to
accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement. The ambient temperature of the storage
area should not fall below -55 °C (-67 °F) or rise above 85 °C (185 °F).
2.3 ANTENNA LOCATION
Location is an important factor for maximum antenna performance. Optimum location for a particular
aircraft type is usually available from the aircraft manufacturer. In selecting a location, consider the
following:
2-1
Rev. C
SKY497
Installation Manual
Directional Antenna
The mounting site should be on the top forward fuselage, as close to the
centerline as possible, and within -10° of the in-flight horizon (see figure
2-1). The optimum mounting point for maximum coverage is as far forward
as possible without exceeding the -10° forward pitch. If necessary,
consideration should be given to relocating other antennas to obtain the
furthest forward location for the directional antenna. The antenna should
be mounted on the aircraft with at least 20 dB isolation (about 30 inches)
from other L-band frequency antennas and 24 inches from other antennas
or obstructions. The ground-plane should be as large as possible,
BFGoodrich Avionics Systems recommends a 30-inch ground-plane
diameter.
The directional antenna can be bottom mounted only if a suitable top
mount location is not available. Each bottom mount installation must be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Before starting a bottom mount
installation, contact BFGoodrich Avionics Systems Field Service
Engineering at 1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600.
Figure 2-1. Directional Antenna Mounting Location
2.4 TRC LOCATION
Typically the TRC is installed in the electronics bay. In selecting a location, consider the following:
Cable Length
Cable runs should be as short as practicable in order to minimize potential
electrical interference. Cable length to antennas must not exceed the
values listed in table 2-1.
Cooling
While the TRC has no special cooling requirements, it should be mounted
to permit adequate ventilation. Caution should be observed to not inhibit
airflow from the rear mounted fan. Allow at least three inches (8 cm) of
rear clearance.
Pressurized Aircraft
The TRC may mount inside or outside the pressure vessel. The TRC
contains no batteries or potentially explosive components and will operate
up to 55,000 ft.
